AI Article Synopsis

  • Biomimetic calcium phosphate coatings are designed for bone regeneration due to their compatibility with the body, ability to support bone cell growth, and simple production process.
  • Incorporating agents like BMP-2 into these coatings allows for a controlled release, promoting sustained bone formation as the coating degrades in response to specific cells like osteoclasts.
  • The review also discusses preparation methods, properties, and pre-clinical uses of these coatings, while comparing them to hydroxyapatite coatings to highlight future clinical applications.

Article Abstract

Biomimetic calcium phosphate coatings have been developed for bone regeneration and repair because of their biocompatibility, osteoconductivity, and easy preparation. They can be rendered osteoinductive by incorporating an osteogenic agent, such as bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), into the crystalline lattice work in physiological situations. The biomimetic calcium phosphate coating enables a controlled, slow and local release of BMP-2 when it undergoes cell mediated coating degradation induced by multinuclear cells, such as osteoclasts and foreign body giant cells, which mimics a physiologically similar release mode, to achieve sustained ectopic or orthotopic bone formation. Therefore, biomimetic calcium phosphate coatings are considered to be a promising delivery vehicle for osteogenic agents. In this review, we present an overview of biomimetic calcium phosphate coatings including their preparation techniques, physico-chemical properties, potential as drug carrier, and their pre-clinical application both in ectopic and orthotopic animal models. We briefly review some features of hydroxyapatite coatings and their clinical applications to gain insight into the clinical applications of biomimetic calcium phosphate coatings in the near future.

The bone is a highly dynamic organ that undergoes continuous remodeling through an intricate balance of bone formation and degradation. Hyperactivation of the bone-degrading cells, the osteoclasts (OCs), occurs in disease conditions and hormonal changes in females, resulting in osteoporosis, a disease characterized by altered microarchitecture of the bone tissue, and increased bone fragility. Thus, building robust assays to quantify OC resorptive activity to examine the molecular mechanisms underlying bone degradation is critical.

Due to the presence of ion reservoir, saliva may facilitate enamel remineralization and neutralize pH of acidic beverage leads to prevent enamel demineralization. Saliva substitute/artificial saliva has been developed in subsequent years and may differ in physical properties, function, or pH level from 5.0 to 7.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of bioactive toothpastes in remineralizing eroded enamel surfaces in vitro. Bovine enamel blocks (n = 48) were obtained and classified into untreated, demineralized, and treated areas. Specimens were randomly classified into six groups (n = 8 each): fluoride-free toothpaste (NCT), Colgate Total 12 (PCT), Sensodyne Repair and Protect (SRP), Sensodyne Pronamel (SPE), Regenerador + Sensitive (RGS), and RGS/calcium booster (RCB).

: To explore the relationship between the stability of poly(gamma-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA) dispersion systems with γ-PGA of different molecular weights (MWs) and concentrations and type I collagen mineralization. : γ-PGA was used as a noncollagenous protein (NCP) analogue to regulate the stability of supersaturated γ-PGA-stabilized amorphous calcium phosphate (PGA-ACP) solutions by changing the γ-PGA MW (2, 10, 100, 200 and 500 kDa) and concentration (400, 500 and 600 μg mL). Then, the optical density (OD) at 72 h was measured to determine the PGA-ACP solution stability.
